Sephiroth and not Jenova because Sephiroth's ego was just that strong.
everything in the extended franchise that is 7 points to the opposite, Sephiroth isn't a man of much ego, his inner thoughts is that he's treated like a tool, he's isolated, and almost everyone has betrayed or left him, he's dedicated to his work because he has nothing else.
that's why the revelation that is Mother is something important, something ancient and special, which in turn, makes HIM special beyond being Shinra's weapon, is so enticing for him, only to be crushed to find out he's a weird lab baby.

To me it seem Jenova simply took over most of what Sephiroth was and made it "her", he's still there, but its her motivations and wants that "he" goes with, which is to consume the planet and fly off, If he was a being of such ego that he could quash Jenova, he'd be doing something of his own desire, instead he wants to destroy all life on the planet and go do it again, which is Jenova's lifecycle.
